ARCHIVED Feeling Great: So How Do I Continue To Stay gluten-free?
gfpaperdoll replied to Molecular Dude's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have the opposite problem - I see gluten anything & I just think how awful the stuff is & killing many people everyday & they have no clue. I see a donut & it almost makes me nauceous. I feel almost physical pain when I watch my grandchildren eating wheaty bread & pizza - when they should be gluten-free. I think this would be... -
If you are craving foods like PB I suggest that you get your blood levels checked for all vitamins & minerals. Also, like others said be sure you get enough good fats in the diet along with protein. Any fat from meat is not going to hurt you. I cook with the leftover bacon fat & never drain my bacon on paper towels. If you can eat beef, a good...

ARCHIVED Celiac Testing
gfpaperdoll replied to AliB's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Gluten Intolerance is 100% in my family & that goes back a couple of generations also. Although, I am the only one that is gluten-free. Everyone else does not mind being sick & taking their chances on picking up more autoimmune illnesses or colon cancer that my mother died from. We are mostly all double DQ1 genes, my sister tested positive... -
ARCHIVED Traveling With Celiac Tots
gfpaperdoll replied to AMQmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
IMO, the plane will be worse because most everything they serve on there is wheat. & I saw a lady get on the plane with a box of donuts in her hand!!!! I thought OMG if she sits next to me I am moving!! - so yes, take wipes & wash their hands & wipe off the area where you are sitting. Also, that is where you get the germs on a plane is from... -

ARCHIVED Testing
gfpaperdoll replied to wadaman's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
although I love Enterolab, I must point out that they are just like the Mayo clinic neither one can diagnosis Celiac Disease!! -
ARCHIVED Yellow Hands And Feet
gfpaperdoll replied to parla's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You need to get tested for Hemochromatosis right away - it will kill you if you do not get treated. It is a genetic condition that causes you to have too much iron in your blood. & can make your skin yellow. The only treatment is to watch your diet & to give blood under a doctors supervision. here is a site for info Open Original Shared Link... -
ARCHIVED Does This Sound Like Celiac Disease?
gfpaperdoll replied to andarah's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That sounds great, please note that companies are now hiding MSG in the "natural flavor" ingredient. Once you get rid of the wheat & soy, I think you are going to see huge improvements in your son. I am very happy for him!! -
I would not add in any dairy. If you read up on it dairy is really not good for anyone but especially for people with gluten intolerance. Also, believe me if most of us could tolerate goat & sheep cheese we would be shouting it from the rooftops - & we have eaten cheese from every corner of the world - well most every corner... & I still cannot...

ARCHIVED Does This Sound Like Celiac Disease?
gfpaperdoll replied to andarah's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have not heard of the ADHD elimination diet. But it probably gets to the same place which is gluten free, dairy free, soy free & then eliminate other things as you notice them. Really once you eliminate gluten, dairy & soy, the child should be able to tell if he has problems with any other foods. I do recommend a total elimination of food dyes... -
ARCHIVED Borderline Negative Enterolab Test

ARCHIVED Newbie Needs Help With Lab Results
gfpaperdoll replied to buildtothesky's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
hello & welcome, with those genes "they" call it gluten intolerance - those of us with those genes know that it is no different than celiac - except that yes, you will more than likely have more neurological problems, hence your depression & other food intolerances, your problem with dairy. They are learning more about those genes all the time..... -
ARCHIVED Shopping Carts, Fish Food And Other Stuff
gfpaperdoll replied to slee's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Does your child need sunscreen? Most of that stuff is absorbed thru the skin - I would read up on the latest guidelines... If not at the pool during the noon to afternoon sun, children should be okay... I remember reading something that says children are worse off slathered with sunscreen than if they just used protective clothing & stayed out of the... -
Hello, I read up on the cyst. IMO it is common for someone with celiac to get a rare condition. I know of several people that have rare "supposedly unrelated" conditions that have been helped with their gluten free diet. I think that your daughter will become extremely healthy on a gluten free, dairy free, soy free diet. If you will check dairy &...

ARCHIVED Follow-up Biopsy Results
gfpaperdoll replied to Moondanse's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am just finishing up my lunch & computer time!! But could you post what you are eating? -
Is your mother overweight & jealous because you are not? Is she just generally mentally unbalanced from all the gluten that she is eating? I would have thrown that pan of gluten dessert in her lap!!! Or better yet, I would have just taken it & my lunch & left, & dropped off the gluten dessert to the nearest nurses station. This shows...

I am so happy your blood pressure is in the normal range - I know you must feel a lot better!!! I used to also have low blood pressure but not as low as yours !!! My docs could never figure it out but they were just happy it was not too high!!! Now at 61 mine will tend to go up - but I have not been exercising as faithfully as I shoud either... &... -

Once you get tested & go Gluten free you will not believe how wonderful you are going to feel. I am 61 & instead of getting older, each year I feel younger!!! & very blessed... -
ARCHIVED New- Disappointed Don't Know Where To Go From Here
gfpaperdoll replied to starrymazed's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Starry, I am so happy for you that you are getting better on the gluten-free diet. & wow, how wonderful that your hubby is thinking of trying it also. I had a lot of those sinus, ear infections... for me it is also dairy along with the gluten, so he might have to give up dairy also. Now, once he is all healed - maybe a year, he may be able to... -
